Processor types
What is a processor?
The ‘brain’ of the PC is referred to as the processor, and is sometimes known as the Central Processing Unit (CPU). Instructions are processed by the CPU and then data is manipulated after fetching them from the PC’s RAM (Random Access Memory).
Without the processor, the PC would not be able to function. The four different types of processor that we have to offer are outlined below.
Intel Celeron processors
Celeron tends to be the cheapest of the processors, and is a brand name for a line of Intel microprocessors. Celeron is more suited for basic computer use, as it is for people who don’t need their computers to run any major applications.
Celeron processors are usually based on the more current versions of their more powerful Pentium processors. Yet they are made budget by cutting down on production costs by leaving out certain technologies that are found in the range of Pentium processors.
Two processor cores are placed into a single socket with dual core technology. The server’s performance is therefore helped to increase where it counts, especially when working with business-critical applications and high-end hosting servers.
To ensure that clients get the dual core technology that’s right for them, we offer three types. There are Intel dual core hosting, AMD dual core technology and Intel Core2Duo.
AMD Opteron processors
Opteron was designed for the server market by AMD, and is the name of a family of CPU’s within the AMD64 line. Opteron tends to be more expensive than the dual core technology and Celeron.
Intel Xeon processors
The Intel Xeon processor is the solution for specific communication applications that require the highest levels of processing performance; such as web-serving, storage, search engines, telecommunications servers, network management, security, voice and load balancing.
